WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Oct 1)

3. Whatever The Hell That Was With Orton

Randy Orton took a trip to Spooky Town this weekend, which is basically a hallway in an arena that had its lights off, and that no one decided to walk through at that time.

The man stalking The Viper? Erick Rowan...who Orton beat in like four minutes last week. But this time he has a new mask, which is about the laziest way you can repackage someone. I hope Orton also has a stern talking to the camera man who shot from Rowan's angle and didn't warn him that he was there.

Maybe this angle is clicking for people, but at this point, Orton showing more physical dominance on Wyatt seems unnecessary. Beating him in a mind game is fine before their match, but chasing off the guy with ease after a couple of punches (don’t most wrestling matches have like 500 punches in them?) only weakened the mystique of Wyatt, which...well, probably completely disappeared at least a year ago.

And was the video of Orton in the chair speeding up, slowing down and reverting back to Bray sitting in it an error? It was taken off of the Youtube clip, so I’ll assume it was...but it was just so goofy that watching it live only amped up the ridiculousness of the ridiculous skit!

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
